Since 1980, extensive archaeological excavations at Forsandmoen (a 195 ha outwash plain) in Rogaland, SW Norway have revealed the remains of more than 100 prehistoric house foundations. The radiocarbon datings separate the settlement into several prehistoric villages ranging from Bronze Age up through the Migration Period. Through time the settled area has moved around within a limited area. The Forsandmoen project is an interdisciplinary approach involving archaeology, phosphate‐mapping, macrofossil‐, pollen‐ and charcoal‐analysis. As a tool in prehistoric land‐use investigation, a principal components analysis (PCA) has been carried out on pollen, charcoal and soil phosphate data from 28 podzol profiles within the outwash plain. The results are displayed as a series of scatter‐plots where the interpretations of the clusters are based on a few indicator taxa. The land‐use mapping is mainly based on isocontour maps of principal component scores and divides the investigated area into: 1. Ruderal/cultivated land 2. Fallow land/meadows and pastures 3. Heathlands 4. Deciduous forests
